Retired justice William K. Zimmer provides readers a glimpse of the United States' immigration courts as he recounts his days of "Al estrado, desde el interior de la Corte de Inmigración" (published by AuthorHouse). With its practical advice and levity, the book not only guides readers and improves their understanding of legal procedures but also conveys the author's hope of planting the seeds of reform to improve the system's quality and efficiency.

This is a book about the immigration court seasoned with observations and some anecdotal humor. The book also serves as a practical guide for attorneys and laymen who are interested in immigration matters within the jurisdiction of the United States immigration courts. In addition, this book also provides a historical overview of the evolution of immigration law in relation to the role of the Immigration Judge, including suggestions for improvements in the institutions that enforce and administer United States immigration law.

A descriptive and informative source of information about the work and function of United States immigration courts, "Al estrado, desde el interior de la Corte de Inmigración" equips readers with a tool to understand a subject that the author describes as being "relevant to the question of who we are as a nation." Zimmer believes that the application of the law also touches people's personal lives and projects an image of the United States' national character for the world to see.

The book, which is in Spanish, is also available in English under the title, "Approaching the Bench From Inside the Immigration Court."
